‘Released on bail’ conflicts with the code in Washington State, for one example.

‘Released on bail’ conflicts with the code in Washington State, for one example.
“The Act eliminates cash bail and ushers in a new standard for those charged criminally: “the presumption of release.” The presumption of release standard is already present in Washington State, codified under Criminal Rule 3.2 (CrR 3.2).”
Otherwise, as noted earlier, the weekend shoot-fests in Dem / Socialist run cities like Chicago are routine. The Dems / Socialists want more gun control laws but they have no interest in enforcing laws when it comes to their protected criminal class.
As violent crime in Chicago soared, arrests fell to historic lows
Chicago police have made arrests in fewer and fewer crimes in recent years. The decline mirrors a drop in nearly every category of officers’ activity tracked by the Chicago Police Department.
I acknowledge that crime is down in many categories in NY city.

I acknowledge that crime is down in many categories in NY city.
I acknowledge that the ‘defund the police’ disaster implemented in so many Dem / Socialist run cities has had negative affects.
NYC Mayor Adams says he may hire more cops amid rash of shocking crimes
As New York City reels from a series of shocking crimes, Mayor Adams says he may hire more NYPD officers. “If we need to hire more, darn it, we’re going to hire more, and nothing is goi…
Strange, that. Defunding the police, no bail, no arrests and vastly reduced charges for criminals that do get arrested caused crime rates to spike.
Overall, Police do act responsibly. However, I definitely agree there are numbers of instances of atrocious / criminal police behavior. The reaction by the Dems / Socialists was what one might expect from the left of left. As an example, the most animated Pom Pom flailers of Minnesota's Defund the Police Amendment included people like Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison. Similarly, in Seattle there was Kshama Sawant who is a member of ‘Socialist Alternative‘.
Stabbings are both less fatal and occur in ones and twos rather than multiples.We see again that gun control, which is typically directed at stripping away the rights of lawful gun owners, does not stop criminals. As with so many Dem / Socialist Hell holes, their anti-gun legislation is directed at people who overwhelmingly, are responsible citizens. We see Dems / Socialists failing simple logic tests time after time. While their ultimate goal is to disarm the population, they choose not to prosecute entire classes of crimes.
Referenced in the linked article is an interesting fact:
“It is worth mentioning that the rate of gun violence has dropped in the Big Apple even after it became easier for New Yorkers to purchase and carry firearms”
It appears to me that the underlying problem is an ideological failing of the Dems / Socialists. They create lawless societies by way of retrograde notions that criminals are an aggrieved, oppressed class and that “equity” requires their crimes are borne by the public.
New York City, a bastion of gun control, has reportedly been experiencing a sharp rise in stabbings and slashings over the past four years. Despite having some of the strictest gun control laws, the city remains quite dangerous for many residents.
Stabbings and slashings are surging this year across New York City – skyrocketing 26% since 2019, according to disturbing new NYPD data obtained by The Post.
Since Jan. 1 through Aug. 13, the city has seen 3,365 nonfatal stabbings, compared to 2,666 four years ago. The number is also up 5% from the same period last year, which saw 3,208 nonfatal incidents of knife violence.
So far this year, 53 people have died by blade — a shocking 29% increase from 41 in 2019. The tally is down 23% from 2022, which saw 69 people killed by knives.
Some beheadings would be nice just so we don’t fall into the trap of, “yeah, another gang war shootout in Chicago. That’s just so… you know… yesterday”.
Sure, why not? A mass beheading would be highly unlikely though. It's a lot more work than pulling a trigger.
Bulletproof Bib
Yeah...that was the point.
Gunshot wounds are almost never instantly fatal. Even head wounds. I know because I have seen these things.Maybe those things happen. The falling and crying out but. You are right about flying backwards and all that Hollywood shit.
How the person acts or responds depends on the damage they received. A bullet to the head will almost certainly cause instant death. A bullet to the heart will kill instantly. Consciousness depends on the damage and shock.
They can lay and scream. They can curl up and moan and cry. They can do all of that. They can also be dead before they hit the ground. What they are shot with is less important than where they are shot.
There are four ways in which a bullet kills. I’ll list them.
1) Vital organ. Head or heart. The brain or heart is destroyed. Instant death. This can happen with a .22 as easily as a .44.
2) Exsanguation. This is where you lose so much blood your heart stops. More likely with the hit of a major artery or blood saturated organ like a Liver.
3) Suffocation. This happens when the lungs are damaged or destroyed. The victim can drown with blood leaking into the lung, or trapped air can actually construct the lungs until the patient expires. That is called Tension Pnumothorax.
4) Side effects. This is all other things. Complications from the trauma. A blood clot causes a heart attack or stroke. A piece of bone gets into the blood and stops the heart. Lead poisoning. Allergic reaction to the treatment.
The fourth is unpredictable. It can’t be planned for. Nobody is good enough to plan a shot and set up for a blood clot to kill the guy the day after. But it does happen.
This report backs up the importance of where, not what you are shot with.
An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power | Buckeye Firearms Association
by Greg Ellifritz I've been interested in firearm stopping power for a very long time. I remember reading Handguns magazine back in the late 1980s when Evan Marshall was writing articles about his stopping power studies. When Marshall's first book came out in 1992, I ordered it immediately...www.buckeyefirearms.org
According to that a .22 is a better choice than a 9MM. But if the person with the .22 was closer and aimed more carefully then it makes more sense.
This is why people have been trained for generations to aim center mass. First it is the biggest target area on the Baddie. Second. Even if you miss the heart you hit something important that can cause death or incapacitation by method number two or three. It’s hard to run when you are gasping for breath, or passed out from blood loss.
